United Kingdom in the Eurovision Dance Contest

The UK's Dallerup and Cole's performance would be their last. After nine years as partners on and off the dance floor, they had split up amid tensions during 2004's first series of Strictly Come Dancing. They were reforming their dancing partnership for one last turn round the floor at the contest, the BBC's press office said on 4 July. 'Invited to represent the nation in the new Eurovision Dance Contest, Brendan and Camilla will have to sweep aside their angst and hot-step around a ballroom for their last dance,' the corporation's press office added. It expected 'a sensational performance with passion, zeal and real life tension as the couple let the sequins fly'. In the Contest itself, they only managed to pick up 18 points for the United Kingdom; four countries voted for them, Denmark, Greece, Ireland and Lithuania. Denmark gave 3 points, Greece 3, Ireland 7 and Lithuania 5.
